Minor Hurling League, Round 3, 27/04/16
GBC minors took on Thomastown in Tom Ryall Park last Wednesday in the third round of the league. After two losses to city teams, a win was badly needed to boost morale and build some momentum in this league, prior to the exam break. With only five minutes on the clock, a Thomastown forward broke loose and picked his spot from close range. Bill Cuddihy brought off a great save, avoiding an early setback. Read more
Intermediate Hurling League, Round 1, 24/04/2016
Graigue Ballycallan Intermediates got the season proper off to a start on Sunday against Glenmore in Dunnamaggin.
